Report cards will be coming home this Thursday. Please sign and return before the Thanksgiving break.

I am still missing several walking field trip permission slips. Please sign and return immediately. The field trip is Tuesday, Nov. 15. (No chaperones needed for this one. Thank you.)

This Wednesday is the Fun Run. Students should wear their Fun Run tee shirt during the run and pants (like sweats or shorts) that they can run in. Tennis shoes are necessary too. Thank you for all the Fun Run pledges. Great job for a great cause!

The school's Student Council is sponsoring a food drive. Information went home last week. Second graders are assigned to bring in boxes of rice, beans or soup mix. The food will go to the Alameda Food Bank. Please donate generously if you can and help those less fortunate. The food drive ends on Nov. 21.

In math, we are now learning all about money and adding the value of coins to find totals. Please help at home by having your child count different amounts of coins.

The students will be bringing home the small novel, "Molly's Pilgrim." Please make sure that it comes back to school each day in the homework folder .

This is the week before the Thanksgiving break. There will be no homework assignment sheet or spelling test next week. There will be homework.
